ABRASIVE TYPE Both diamond & CBN have distinctive characteristics that meet the most demanding applications. ASD: Synthetic diamond, armoured, high quality, versatile. CB: Cubic boron nitride, armoured, durable. INTRODUCTION Diamond is the hardest material known to man, closely followed by Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN). As a result of their hardness these materials are used extensively in the most demanding precision grinding, slicing, and cutting applications. Super Abrasive wheels use diamond and CBN technology to cut demanding materials such as carbide, high speed steel, ceramics, and glass. Norton provides ultimate, high performance Super Abrasive solutions for the cutting tools industry, offering products specifically designed to deal with the hardest and most challenging materials. CONCENTRATION Indicates the amount of Super Abrasive grits in the wheel. For CBN wheels the concentration number is included in the grade (Q=50, T=75, W=100, Z=125), concentration 100~4,4 ct/cm³, & accordingly 50~2,2 ct/cm³. The optimum concentration depends upon the application. BOND The element in a grinding wheel that holds the diamond or CBN grains together. GRIT SIZE Size of the Super Abrasive particles according to FEPA standards. The smaller the number, the finer the grit size. GRADE Refers to the degree of durability of the wheel, progressing alphabetically from A (softest, least durable) to Z (hardest,most durable).
